Новый министр обороны Грузии Леван Изория обозначил свои приоритеты

Во вторник, на встрече с высшими военными чиновниками в Тбилиси, новый министр обороны Грузии Леван Изория обозначил свои приоритеты. На встрече также присутствовал премьер-министр страны, Георгий Квирикашили, который заявил, что роль ведоства не должна быть "политизированна".

Среди приоритетов нового министра обороны обеспечение мира в Грузии, активное участвует в миссии НАТО в Афганистане в партнерстве с Соединенными Штатами, а также улучшение оборонительного потенциала Грузии с помощью НАТО.

Он также сообщил о том, что намерен продолжить "трезвую политику". "Во-первых, [это] подразумевает обеспечение мира и безопасности, а во-вторых, сдерживание угроз и рисков на основе устойчивого развития наших оборонных возможностей и интеграции в евроатлантические структуры."

Напомним, что в начале июля, во время визита в Тбилиси госсекретаря США, Джона Керри, между Грузией и США был подписан меморандум о повышении военного потенциала.

Изория сменил на посту Тину Хидашели, которая ушла в отставку, чтобы принять участие в предстоящих парламентских выборах в рядах Республиканской партии. Хидашели подвергла критике назначение Изория, бывшего заместителя руководителя Службы государственной безопасности.

"Это неправильный сигнал нашим партнерам за рубежом, и внутри страны..." По ее словам, "это указывает на очень негативную тенденцию".

Тем не менее, премьер-министр Квирикашили заверил журналистов, что роль ведомства не будет политизирована. "Минобороны должно быть максимально дистанцировано от любого рода политического противостояния и в стране в целом должно закончиться политическое противостояние".

"Я уверен, что мы сможем реализовать очень важные реформы в министерстве, и думаю, что никто не сомневается в том, что ведомство необходимо реформировать и укрепить", сказал он на встрече во вторник.

Выборы в законодательные органы Грузии состоятся 8 октября.

Свой пост в преддверии выборов также оставил и министр по вопросам примирения и гражданского равенства Паата Закареишвили.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
